Makes 8​

INGREDIENTS​

For the Apple Filling​

• 3 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and diced​
• 1/2 cup water​
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice​
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar​
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon​
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg​
• 1/8 teaspoon cloves​
• 2 teaspoons cornstarch​
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract​

For the Egg Rolls​

• 8 egg roll wrappers​
• 1/2 tablespoon of butter, melted​
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar​
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon​
• Whipped Cream for topping​

DIRECTIONS​

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.​
2. In a medium-sized saucepan over medium high heat, add all the apple filling ingredients except the vanilla and stir together.​
3. Cook the apples for about 3-4 minutes or until the mixture has thickened. Next, turn heat down to medium low, cover with a lid, and cook for another 6-8 minutes for apples to soften slightly.​
4. Remove the filling from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.​
5. Take one egg roll wrapper, lay it out on a clean, dry cutting board and brush water around each edge. Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of the apple filling into the upper half of the wrapper, leaving a border.​
6. Fold in the sides and roll up the egg roll tightly.​
7. Place the egg rolls on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down and repeat until all the filling is gone.​
8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then brush each egg roll with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake for 5 more minutes then remove from the oven.​
9. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving and top with Whipped Cream.​
